Thank you to all the grandparents for attending this special day dedicated to you. The event has been a tradition for the last two decades and every year is filled with special memories. Thank you for your company, your love and support for these amazing children who shine bright. We pray that God will bless all of you and bless you insensibly.
Stone soup is a classic folk story that teaches the value of cooperation and generosity. In the story, a hungry traveler arrives at a village, and seeing that everyone is hesitant to share their food, he cleverly boils a simple stone in a pot of water, claiming it’s a delicious stone soup. Curious villagers contribute ingredients to enhance the soup, and together, they create a hearty meal. The story highlights how individual contributions, no matter how small, can come together to benefit the whole community. It’s a wonderful way to illustrate the importance of teamwork, sharing, and the idea that everyone’s participation can make something special.
The children in Room 3 all brought an ingredient and saw the bounty grow on our stone soup. We enjoyed eating it all up these past 2 days. A huge thank you to all the parents that came in to help the children cut veggies and make the soup.
Greetings everyone! We had a month full of fun activities, but the way we celebrated the end of October was with Apple-Pumpkin days.
The children stepped into the role of sous chefs and helped us make tasty apple and pumpkin themed treats. In room 3, we made Apple and pumpkin parfaits. The children crushed graham crackers for the crust, scooped the filling onto the crust, and enjoyed the parfaits as a class.
We enjoyed the parents that came to volunteer as head chefs, and we are very grateful for their help. Until next year!
Two enjoyable days for our mini chefs, we made apple pie in a cup for Thursday and pumpkin pie in a cup for Friday. OOOH, Lala!

What a great way to end the month of October!!!!!!!!
Using our five senses, taste, smell, touch, hear, and sight with all different kinds of apples.
In room 3 we celebrated Hispanic Heritage Month! We read “Diez Cerdos Hambrientos” and “Chicks and Salsa. ”These books are fun and engaging that introduce kids to Hispanic culture through language, food, and humor.
We got to celebrate and have a fiesta with chips and salsa—and of course, plenty of quackamole, what the ducks in the story adorably called guacamole!
and we finished our fiestas by having a dance party to a variety of latino culture music.
Our preschool theme for the year, “All Hands on Deck,” has already been taking place in room 3 as we taught the children how to properly wash their hands. We started with an interactive demonstration pouring a little black pepper into a container of water, a cut-out hand at the bottom of the container, and dish soap. The black pepper represents germs, and each child applied a drop of soap to the pepper water, which repelled the pepper. Then we gave each child hand soap, taught them how to scrub both sides of their hands and in between their fingers before rinsing with water and drying with a paper towel. Last week, we also read Pete the Kitty Wash Your Hands to help us implement this lesson. Everyone had fun and did a great job!
Summer is at an end, and we want to showcase some of the fun times that we had together.
We had lots of birthdays to celebrate this summer, and our lovely parents have provided us with special snacks to help us celebrate. Special snacks can be cut fruit, juice boxes, allergy friendly granola bites, and can sometimes be as grand as popsicles or a pizza party!
We also had lots of water and bubble play to cool ourselves from the summer heat. Water pads and preschool car washes were the crowd favorites.
We enjoyed lots of ocean-themed art projects and dancing. We would have the children dance to songs without looking at the screen to see how well they remembered the movements. We also identified shapes while doing glow in the dark dancing with glow sticks and our colorful classroom lights.
Of course, none of this would be possible without our Heavenly Father, so we would praise Him by reading Bible stories together in the classroom and at chapel with the whole preschool each week.
We are grateful for all of the fun we’ve had with our friends, and we send prayers to the families who will not return in the Fall. We pray the Lord will be with you in your transitions and give you grace and patience for yourselves and each other. Take care, and God bless 🙏.
The kiddos assembled their special snack, starting with half a graham cracker. Next, they spread a vibrant blue frosting and then crowned it with one Swedish Fish—mmm, mmm, mmm!
It is week two of our summer program, and the children in Class #3 have already begun to adjust and feel at home in their new environment. It didn’t take long for them to become comfortable with the classroom and their new teachers. They are having a great time exploring their creativity through art activities and water play. One of the biggest highlights in the class has been the loft, which the kids are thoroughly enjoying. It’s been a fun and exciting start to the summer!
It is always fun to hear Mr. Tim play the ukulele, sing, and lead us in worship. So far, we’ve had two Bible lessons with him. The first was about Noah, where we learned Psalm 139:1 and sang “Wherever I Go” and “Always.” The second lesson was about Jonah, focusing on 1 John 5:15, and we sang “O the Deep, Deep Sea.” Mr. Tim makes learning about God exciting and joyful through music and stories.
